Andrea Kelly lives with her partner Jonathan and three children Ryan, Sophie and toddler Chloe. Plus, there is also her elderly mother and the family pet dog, Dougal.

Andrea and Jonathan have been going through a rough patch. Jonathan has become very secretive and off-hand with Andrea. When the two are supposedly meeting to have dinner together, Jonathan is nowhere to be seen. At the same time the family home burns down.

To the rescue is newcomer to the neighbourhood, Dr David Adams and his teenage son Jake. The pair are going through a difficult time after the death of their wife/mother. David invites Andrea and her family to stay with them until their home is fixed. But will Andrea’s eyes be opened to how caring and attentive David is compared to Jonathan, and will David realise that it’s okay to move on with his life?

Sheryl Browne has a writing style that grips you and hooks you to the pages until the very last word. Her characters are all very realistic and the situations plausible. It often felt like I was stood watching someone else’s life play out in front of me, not just reading about it.

The characters are all worth investing your time in, okay maybe not Jonathan, but then there is always one!! The storyline is tender, and is one of love, loss and life, told in the most caring and mindful manner.

The title ‘Learning to Love’ fits the book perfectly, with both Andrea and David having to do just that. I gasped at each twist and turn that Ms. Browne so cleverly created for them.

The whole book from beginning to end was just a delight to read, it pulled at my heart-strings and had me eager to devour it in just two sittings.
